Thought power troweling was always faster until I did a 2000 sq ft garage floor by hand last Tuesday
Ngl, I always grabbed the power trowel for big jobs but my buddy challenged me to do a whole garage slab with a hand float and magnesium finish. Took me 6 hours compared to usual 2 but the surface came out way flatter with no swirl marks. Anyone else ever ditch the machine and get better results by hand?

Dude that's brutal but respect for sticking with it.

My uncle went through the same thing back in '04, just kept at it.

Man that's wild, did your uncle ever figure out what finally made it click for him? @danielnelson was saying it's brutal, but I'm curious if there was one thing that turned it around.
